His jump shooting has been awful so far. Statistically, Lawson and Harden are getting themselves more open looks than they've previously been used to. However both have been more successful slashing to the hoop instead so their ineffectiveness is now glaringly obvious and neither are known for their defensive prowess.
Drummond is ridiculous. 17 points and 17 rebounds. Still early in the season but he's on track to record over 17 rebounds per game (currently 19.2rpg), joining Rodman as the only player in the past 23 years to average that many rebounds a game.
Sacremento are quickly becoming one of my favourite teams.
Rondo back to the old rondo that we are used to seeing, George Karl seems as if his given him the keys to this Sacre team and his loving the floor general roll what can you say his got 3 triple doubles in the past 5 games and also that laser accuracy quite frankly ridiculous passing and can knock shots when needed.
DeMarcus Cousins is an absolute beast!!!! Can not beat this man.
Too strong
Can dribble the ball
To quick for the opposition centres
Beat you on the post, back down, dribble and that mans range. Can hit shots from anywhere and spreads the D draws the big men out of the paint and by god don't get him angry, scary man and takes the game by the scruff of the neck.
Oh and to mention DC (Darren Collison) still injuried.
Rudy Gay, Marco Belinelli, Omri Casspi, Cauley-Stein, Kosta Koufos, Ben McLemore.
That is a dangerous team and if they make playoffs they'll be a real dark cloud.
Sign Rondo and Boogie on the all star game teams now and watch Boogie take it to Curry for MVP.
Knight is also one of 3 players to average 30+ ppg against the lakers since the start of 2013. The other two being Durant & Harden.
I'm hoping that the 4th qtr of the Lakers v Suns was the start of the penny dropping for D'Angelo Russell - where he put up 11 points in 6 minutes, and was aggressively manuvering around the screen and toward the rim instead of trying to defer to the shooters all the time like he has in the previous 10 games of the season... Easily the best 5:45 he's played to date (and yes, I know where the score line was at). If he starts aggressive, it will create space for other parts of his game to flourish.
2014-15 record 56-26 - playoffs lost 1st round vs Blazers (Lillard series winner over parsons)
2013-14 record 54-28 - playoffs lost WCF vs Warriors
2015-16 record started 4-7
Not surprising Matt. I read that Harden idolises Iverson and wants to emulate his game of taking whatever shot he wants whenever he wants. Umm, problem is that Iverson had Matt Geiger, Eric Snow, George Lynch, whole bunch of role players built around him to complement his ball hogging ways. Then again, maybe Harden has been distracted with his woman and the Odom saga..
